The heater is controlled by a thermostat, auto-
matically turning the heater on and off. The indi-
cator light will remain on as long as the switch is
on.
When the vehicle’s interior is warmed, or before
you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch
off.
NOTE:
The heated seats consume less power than
the heater and can be used to either help
extend vehicle range by reducing heater
use or to maximize comfort by supplement-
ing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use the
seat heater if you or the occupants can-
not monitor elevated seat temperatures
or have an inability to feel pain in those
body parts in contact with the seat. Use of
the seat heater by such people could re-
sult in serious injury.
CAUTION
Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.
Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the
seat may become overheated.
Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to
the heater.
Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, thinner, or any similar mate-
rials.
If any malfunctions are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn the
switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer
for this service.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-
ing conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the traction motor output to re-
duce wheel spin. The traction motor speed will be
reduced even if the accelerator is depressed to
the floor. If maximum traction motor power is
needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn the VDC
system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will illuminate.
